 tives. He had only $2.40 in cash and a 

 trunk containing his belongings. Mr. 

 Tatro reports the work on his new 

 range of eight greenhouses progressing 

 rapidly. 



Newton, la. — Mrs. James Lister has 

 sold out and Wm. F. Behring, formerly 

 of Davenport, la., has charge of the 

 business. The business was established 

 over forty years ago and has grown, 

 as it earned a warm spot in the hearts 

 of the people of Newton. The green- 

 houses and one acre of ground have 

 been sold, while Mrs. Lister retains the 

 home and the rest of the ground in i the 

 tract. About October 1 Mrs; i Lister,
